pipe camera inspections

 When your drains are acting up, you need a solution—not a guess. At Go Away Drains, we take the guesswork out of plumbing problems with our advanced pipe camera inspection services. This isn't just a drain cleaning; it's a full-color, up-close look at the health of your pipes, allowing us to pinpoint the problem with absolute certainty. 

 Think of it as a doctor’s MRI for your plumbing system. A pipe camera inspection involves sending a high-resolution, waterproof camera on a flexible cable deep into your drain lines. The camera transmits a live video feed to a monitor, giving our expert technician a real-time, inside look at your pipes from start to finish. This non-invasive technology means no digging, no mess, and no unnecessary repairs. 

 This service is a crucial diagnostic tool for a range of issues, including:

• Recurring Clogs: If you’re constantly dealing with the same blockage, a camera inspection will reveal the underlying cause.
• Foul Odors: A persistent, sewer-like smell in your home could be a sign of a break in your pipe.
• Before a Home Purchase: A standard home inspection doesn't check the sewer line. A camera inspection is a smart investment that can reveal costly hidden problems before you buy.
• Retrieving Lost Valuables: Dropped something down the drain? A camera can help us locate and retrieve it.

 Our high-tech cameras see what no one else can, identifying the exact cause of your plumbing issues. The common problems we find include:

• Tree Root Intrusion: Roots are always on the hunt for water. A camera can pinpoint where they’ve broken into your line and how much damage they’ve caused.
• Cracks & Breaks: We can spot even hairline fractures or major breaks in the pipe that could be leaking into your yard.
• Collapsed or Misaligned Pipes: We can see if your pipes have shifted due to ground movement or age, causing flow problems.
• Severe Blockages: The camera provides a clear view of thick clogs caused by grease, sludge, or other foreign objects.

 A typical pipe camera inspection for a residential home takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the length and complexity of your drain lines. Once the inspection is complete, we will show you the video results, give you a detailed breakdown of our findings, and provide a clear, flat-rate quote for any necessary repairs. We take the time to answer all your questions and ensure you are fully informed. 

It varies from case to case, an inspection can cost anywhere from $250 - $1,500, with most typically costing around $500-$700. At Go Away Drains we provide you with a detailed cost breakdown. Our upfront pricing for a pipe camera inspection is highly competitive, and the peace of mind it provides is priceless. Knowing the exact problem saves you money by preventing unnecessary digging and ensuring the right repair is done the first time. We'll always discuss the cost and benefits with you transparently before we begin. At Go Away Drains we offer free pipe camera inspections once every 18 months for FLOWGUARD Gold Members.
